pyinotify is a Python module for watching filesystem events (modifications). By design, it can be used for any kind of monitoring. It relies on a Linux kernel feature (merged in kernel 2.6.13) called inotify.

cpverify verifies that a file or directory
structure has been copied or burned without
errors. That is, it ensures that the copied data
is exactly the same as the original. This is done
by calculating and comparing a cryptographic
checksum using the MD5 message-digest algorithm on
each file from the source and the copy
destination.

Jungle Monkey (JM) is a distributed file-sharing program. You join channels where people offer files for download, and you can also offer your own files and create your own channels. Searching and chat are also supported.

recover automates some steps as described in the Ext2fs-Undeletion-howto in order to recover a lost file. This utility will greatly increase your file recover rate. People who do not know how to undelete a file are encouraged to use this utility.

Robinhood Policy Engine is a multi-purpose tool for managing the content of large filesystems. It can audit filesystem content, perform accounting, remove old unused files according to admin-defined policies, show customizable alerts based on file properties, backup data to external storage, and more. It has advanced capabilities for Lustre filesystems. It leverages OST usage, and lists or purges files per OST, with policy criteria based on pools and OST index. It can also process MDT changelogs with Lustre v2. Originally developped for HPC, it has been designed to perform all of its tasks in parallel, so it is particularly adapted for running on large filesystems with millions of entries and petabytes of data. But you can nonetheless take advantage of all of its features for managing smaller filesystems.

fuselagefs consists of a C++ wrapper class for
FUSE called Fuselagefs, as well as Delegatefs,
which is a Fuselagefs subclass that delegates all
operations to an underlying base filesystem. With
Delegatefs, you can expose dir1 at mountpoint dir2
very easily as a FUSE filesystem. Subclasses of
Delegatefs can then be created, which add a little
extra functionality to the delegation operation
but rely on the parent class to perform the work
and return errors to FUSE in an appropriate
manner. An example subclass is petardfs.

fileschanged is a command line file alteration
monitoring tool that monitors sets of files and
reports when they have changed. It can be
used in shell scripts to take action when
certain files have been altered.

Fur is a filesystem based on FUSE which mounts a
Windows CE device (connected with the librapi2
from the synce project) onto a directory of the
local filesystem in a transparent and user-friendly
way.
